A wintery fun week!

Another great week. As always we have pressed forward in our learning in many areas. We have created some short non fiction books, continued work on our expository books about Vermont, increased our understanding of multiplication, and are getting ready for our field trip.
Early last week we had a pre-assessment for writing. We were writing about a topic of choice that students are exoerts in. It was so cool to see the different topics students chose. We had books about wolves, books about snowmobiles, books about monkeys and more! We are also working on self assessment of these writings to help us improve our writing in a holistic way. Students have udentified areas where they can improve and are creating goals to help them improve their writing!
In math we continue to work with multiplication. We are working with array cards and Cuisenaire rods to this end. We are finding different equations that can be re-composed into larger equations.

We are also getting ready for our field trip next week! We will be travelling to the VT history museum to add to our informational writing about VT. We will also be taking photographs to use in out non fiction books! Many if you have expressed interest in attending with us, and I will be in touch with you regarding that early next week!
Have a great Friday and relaxing weekend.
